INTENTIONAL PLAGIARISM occurs when writers or researchers know full well they are passing off someone else's words or ideas as their own.

UNTINTENTIONAL PLAGIARISM occurs when writers and researchers use the words or ideas of others but fail to quote or give credit, perhaps because they don't know how. (baylorschool.org)
